I donโ€™t know what Iโ€™ve just read. This book went in completely different way than I anticipated. This was shocking and incredible at the same time. 

This story turn darker than I thought although the cover and the title clearly shows that itโ€™s definitely darker. 

When i saw this sentence I thought it was hyperbolic but you should take this sentence seriously because it describes the whole book so well: 

โ€œ๐˜๐จ๐ฎโ€™๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ง๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐š๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฐ๐š๐ฒ ๐š๐ ๐š๐ข๐ง...โ€

The last chapters had me in a choke hold. I could not read the book pages by pages I NEEDED to know what was going to happen. Whenever you believed things were resolved there was always a plot twist waiting. I was on an emotional roller coaster.๐Ÿ˜ญ๐ŸคงIt was sooooo good! 

Okay but seriously Ravi is โœจTHE best boyfriendโœจyou could ever have. I love him so much. Iโ€™ll never get over his witty answers. I relished how Ravi was Pipโ€™s anchor and how much she count on him. Ravi is the cutest!!!! ๐Ÿฅนโœ‹๐Ÿผ

The plot was amazing, especially went you hit the 47% mark. I had a hard time getting away from the book. I just couldnโ€™t separate myself from it. I was quite invested in the story and I couldnโ€™t tell you how many times I gasped and my heart sped up. BEWILDERING PLOT. WOW. ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ

One little disappointment : Pipโ€™s character clearly evolved throughout this series but she also had mental health issues which we could see in this book. I wished we could have seen her healing unfortunately the plot caught everything up.  

Iโ€™m super sad, I was immensely reluctant to read this book because I was worried I wasnโ€™t going to like it. However now, Iโ€™m sad because I finished it. I am telling you I will unquestionably read more of her books!!

WARNING: GO READ THIS SERIES !!!๐Ÿ–ค

The book was a rollercoaster. It dragged a bit towards the end of part 1 but really picked up in the climax/part 2. The events that take place in this book I feel summarises pips experience with the law and why she does what she does.
